What is it about Thanksgiving and liberals anyway — well, aside from those who’d do away with the holiday altogether and throw it on the scrapheap with Columbus Day.
Having the family over for dinner calls for a social justice support hotline for liberal talking points. The New York Times jokes about mixing Xanax into the stuffing. Is Thanksgiving really so bad?
Enter Slate with the answer: Thanksgiving turns your marriage into a sexist 1950s nightmare.

The piece in question does offer some good advice — split up chores by preference, not gender, and involve the kids — but why is there this assumption that Thanksgiving is a sexist nightmare in the first place?

My husband sets the table, clears the table, does the dishes and then cleans the kitchen. So tired of the mediasplaining…

Thought experiment: did all the women of the 1950s know they were living a sexist nightmare?

Here is a suggestion:
Why don't you hand jobs just go work on Thanksgiving?
Nobody wants you spoiling dinner with your derangement! Because that's all this is now
What happens in our homes doesn't affect you.
Go hug trees, save whales, resist or do whatever the fuck you do! https://t.co/VWNZG7pe58
